It’s hard to believe we are wrapping up two months of school already!

I am enjoying this group of students.  We are able to accomplish our lessons, class work, extra-curricular activities, and manage to have fun doing all of it.  We are going to begin make connections with current events.  As I explained to the class, we are going to be looking for the good news that is going on the world, sharing that news with the class, and then thinking of ways that we can expand some of those ideas into our own lives.  Stay tuned for more information on current events this week!
